You can get completely hard core into that game for around a hundred dollars, iirc. 8 miniatures (I think they sell a pack now of 8 plastic ones and a rules book, etc.), then as many record sheets as you can afford at a time. Start with 3025, then move on to more advanced mechs as you get good at it.

If you find someone else who likes to play, odds are they have all the stuff. I played for years without ever buying a thing, except for a couple of d6's.

It's a great game, too. I really intend to start playing again very soon.
